When can I tint the hair again?
The same applies to tinting hair as to coloring hair. According to experience reports, there seems to be no damage when tinting hair 3 months after chemotherapy. If you are unsure, it is advisable to consult the doctor treating you.
What do I have to consider when washing my hair?
Again, there is no scientifically proven advice. According to experience reports there are a few tips. According to these, after chemotherapy the hair should first be washed as little as possible.
A mild shampoo should be used here. The water temperature should not be too hot. The amount of shampoo should be kept as small as possible.
In addition, the use of a soft brush is generally recommended. If possible, blow-drying the hair, warming curlers and straightening irons should be avoided at first. If blow-drying of the hair cannot be avoided, the hair should be blow-dried as short as possible and not too hot. Chemicals, heat and rough handling of the hair when washing the hair should be avoided.
